Planning an elopement or wedding in Mexico should feel like you — not like a checklist. I work with couples who want something meaningful, whether it’s just the two of you or a small celebration with up to 50 guests, in locations that feel natural and true to your story.
Hi, I’m Mariana — a Mexican photographer who grew up partly in Texas, speaks fluent English, and has explored 28 of Mexico’s 32 states. I’ve traveled through Canada, Peru, Colombia, and Guatemala, and I’ve spent years finding the kind of places in Mexico that most people never get to see.
I know this country from the inside, and I’ll use that to make your elopement feel like an adventure only you could have had here.
My husband and I decided to renew our vows in La Ventana and wanted someone special to capture such a meaningful moment. I found Mariana on Google and immediately fell in love with her profile. After reaching out, she quickly scheduled a video call with us, and from that moment, I knew she was the perfect fit.
She was incredibly professional, confident, and clearly passionate about her work. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and guided us effortlessly with poses. Her eye for lighting and detail was amazing, and it truly shows in the photos.
There are honestly too many beautiful pictures to post, and I am in love with every single one of them. Mariana captured our special day in the most perfect way, and her work is beyond amazing. We are so grateful and will treasure these memories forever.

"I’m here to make your day feel like an adventure, not a photoshoot."
My approach is built on trust, connection, and genuine support. I’m that friend who always ends up planning the trip. I’ll help you pinpoint the best light, the most private spots, and even jump in to translate with local vendors if you need a hand.
My whole purpose is to make you feel completely comfortable, totally yourselves, so your genuine emotions shine through every single frame. I want you to look back at your photos and not just remember a moment, but feel all the magic, all the adventure, and all the profound love you shared here in Mexico, for years and years to come.
Every elopement and wedding I photograph looks different and that’s exactly the point. Some couples want just the two of them on a remote beach. Others want their closest people nearby, a long dinner, and dancing until late. Whatever yours looks like, there’s a package here for you.
And no matter which one you choose, I’m with you through all of it — locations, vendor, timelines recommendations, and everything in between.
Nine hours of coverage, plus a session the day before.
For the couples who want everything. The getting-ready moments, the ceremony, portraits just the two of you or with your guests, boat tours, dinner, dancing.
This is a two-day experience. The day before, we meet, go over every detail together, and have a relaxed session or rehearsal — so by the time your wedding day arrives, you already know how this feels.
On the day itself, nine hours means we don’t rush anything.
We move through your celebration with intention, explore multiple locations, and document everything the way it actually happened.
Starting at $3,950 USD
Six hours gives us room to breathe.
Room for getting ready photos, vows, and portraits that feel unhurried and real.
There’s time for a short hike to a viewpoint, a walk through a colorful street, or a romantic dinner with your closest people captured exactly as it was.
No rushing. No checklist. Just your day, unfolding naturally.
Starting at $2,250 USD

“Mariana is an artist, she has a passion for what she does, and went above and beyond. All I wanted for the wedding was amazing photos and she delivered. Mariana gives clear direction and is a fantastic communicator. I would recommend her for any sort of photos you need. We will likely return in a few years to take family photos. Thank you for everything Mariana and for the extremely fast turn around time on getting the final photos to us. — book Mariana and you will be glad you did!”

I travel anywhere in Mexico for elopements and intimate weddings — including San Miguel de Allende, Tulum, Huatulco, Mexico City, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Holbox, Yucatán, and beyond. Flights, accommodation, and travel are all included in your package. No extras, no surprises.
I've traveled through Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru and I'd love to return to any of these places to capture a love story. I haven't made it to Bolivia yet, but it's on my bucket list. If you're planning to elope in Latin America and my style resonates with you, let's talk.
